RAILRDAD MONEY THE PAY ROLL OF THE WASHINGTON AND COLU.MBIA It is Estimated to be $11,500 a Month and This Year Much More Money Is to be Spent. For Improvements. The pay "roll of the "Hunt" road each month is close to $11,500 or au average of $51.11 per man. To keep up a mile ot track for thirty days the railway must pay the sum of ?G4.G0 in wages. But the matter of salaries Is not the only Item. There are cars to run. tracks and bridges to rebuild Tind repair besides the thousands of other things. ' What is known as the Washington & Columbia TUver railroad comprises 178 miles of track. The line extends from Dayton to Walla Walla; from "this city to Hunt's Junction, and from that place to Pendleton, Ore. From Eureka Junction to Pleasant View is one branch of the road and another extends from" Helix, Ore., to Athena. To operato the road a per manent force of about 225 men is em ployed. This means a man to every seventy-eight hundredths of a mile. At the present time a force of men is employed in getting out rock near Dixie and crushing it for use as bal last "on the roadbet between thnt place and Summit. The soil for a stretch of about eight -miles is of a clay formation, making this neces sary. Money for Improvement. From Hunt's Junction to Helix the road extends up the Vansycle canyon over the Oregon hills, and what is known as the "high line." To keep up this part of the feeder requires a large outlay and during the coming summer not less than $95,000 will be expended in a steel trestle on the "high line," and a bridge over the Umatilla river at Pendleton. . An ad ditional $30,000 will go to construct a steel bridge over the Touchet at Riverside. Speaking of the contem plated Improvements, J. G. Cutler, chief engineer of the road said to the Walla Walla Union: "The completion of the bridges will depend upon when we can receive material. The mills in the east at the present time are flooded with or ders, and we may be compelled to wait for some time. The concrete piers for the bridge at Pendleton are being placed at the present time but the work is by contract, and we have nothing to do with it." Three Hundred Foot Bridge. "The bridge at that, place Is to be 300 feet long, and will be built in two spans. The trestle on the "high line" is where the road crosses the Walla Walla river and the Oregon Railroad & Navigation tracks four miles above Wallulu. This structure will be 700 feet in length and fifty feet in height. The Riverside bridge will be but 250 feet in length." The Washington & Columbir River railway is part of the Hill system, and lias but little rolling stock of its own. The head offices are situated In this city and most of the business is carried on in Walla Walla and at Hunt's Junction. The line taps the richest wheat secion of Walla Walla county and passes through the cen ter of the grain fields of Umatilla county. The line connects with the Northern Pacific at Hunts' and its trains run on Northern Pacific tracks to Pasco, a dozen miles away. EAST END NEWS. FIve.YearrOJd. Child of- T. D.

Adams, March 17. George Bontloy and his son Frank, of Pendleton, were in town last week completing the pur chase of a block of Adams realty.

"FORGET ME NOT.1 Rose Coghlan Appears in Pendleton on Thursday, March 20. Rose Coghlan's "Forget Me Not" is tho most talked of play of the season. It achieved instantaneous success on its merits as a polished Batire on modern social shams, and is a strong ly dramatic play. It packed the house nightly at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, and on its road tour because there is nothing hack neyed about the theme, because of its brilliancy in situation and dialogue, because, it amuses by means of easy satire and humor and because of tho splendid emotional work of Miss Rose Coghlan who appears in the role of Stephanie De Mohrivart, which pre sents this superb actress at her best. From grave to gay, from lively to se vere, she runs the scale of human emotions until the climax of the third act displays the art and power of this gifted woman, who Is recognized as America's greatest actress in parts of this character. The company choson to support her is in all respects an excellent one. The ladies of the cast who represent titled and aristocratic personages, and the men chosen to interpret their associates are tho pick of New York's society actors and ac tresses. The sensational character of the story and the quick succession of dramatic incidents are intensely in teresting and tho satire of the au thor's lines Is as keenly Incisive as a suregon's knife. The best society will doubtless bo represented In tho auditorium as -well as on' the stage when Rose Coghlan appears hero on Thursday, March 20. J. B. Wilson, Chairman. Walla Walla, March 17. Jdhn B. Wilson, of this city, was elected chair man of the republican central com mittee, at a meeting Saturday after noon, at which Dr. Y. C, Blalock, who has been chairman for several years, tendered his resignation. Mr. Wilson at once took up the duties of his of fice, aad will for tho present bo one of the most Important personages In political circles In Eastern Washing ton. Wilson is a strong personal friend of Hon. J,ovi Ankony, and in his caro will be left much of tho .fu ture success of tho wealthy politician, so far as Walla Walla county Is con corned. Dr. Blalock retires on ac count of his recent appointment as receiver of the local land office. He expects to assume his duties in a short time. Smoke Pendleton Boquet Cigars. FREE DISTRIBUTION DESCRIPTIVE MATTER OF UMATILLA IN FOLDER FORM. Will Be Sent East to Answer Inquir ies Can Be Obtained Free for Dis tribution In the East The re sources of Umatilla Stated Conserv atively. Tho Pendleton Commercial Associ ation has just Issued a 14-page fold er . descriptive of Umatilla county, which is for the purpose of nnswerlng tho many questions that are bplng nskod by people of the East and Mid dle States who nro thinking of com ing here. So ninny inquiries about the country have been received by differ ent ones recently that the associa tion thought they could not spend a few dollars to more advantago than In getting out some advertising matter to answer these questions in an intel ligent nnd reliable way and, conse quently, they have Issued the folder, ad It 13 tho purpose of the association to send one to oveny inquirer that cat. bo readied, beside having thorn dis tributed along tho transportation linos and at different points so that the rush of honieseokers who arc go ing into Washington and otlior places may sec what Umatilla county is, mid. if they are not satisfied, when they reach the place they are destined, some of them mny come back and find a place that suits thent hereabouts. This folder contains information along the lines of the questions asked by the Easterners who are seeking information about tho country, such as tho population of the count', population ot Pendleton, cereal products per acre, prices of land, livestock Interests, liny, grain, fiults and grasses, rainfall, climntio conditions the year round with tho temperature, dairying and manufac turing possibilities of tho future, transportation and educational facili ties, along with the wnges paid to tho laborer and the chances for a working man or the man with capital. It is a fact that this country has either been over estimated to most Easterners and its possibilities over drawn to them by the railroad com panics, or the occasional "grafter" who happened to be In tho real estate business, and many who come, here are of the opinion that all they will have to do to got a first-class homo will be to take a homestead and be gin to make money from tho very start, with practically no outlay ot money. To offset this idea and get the real value and possibilities that exist in Umatilla county beforo the inquiring Easterner is the object of the Commercial Association in issu ing this folder. The writer has talked to several Easterners recently who have been persuaded to abandon a fairly good homo and come to the West by the overdrawn statements of someone nnd when they reached hero and found things are not what they were led to believo they aro dlsf-fs-fied and the first tiling they did Avas to write back to other intending com ers to stay at homo and being dis appointed in the country give it a "black eye" to thoir friends, which does the country an injustice. Umatilla county has room for many more thrifty, Industrious people, and all such who gain a foothold hero need have little fears as to tho fu ture. Opportunities aro offered es pecially in farming, stock raising and dairying, that will yield good returns on the investments of capital and la bor, and to any one having tho neces sary means to get hold and make a fair start success Is almost asaured. For the working man, of course, tho opportunities hero are not as good as a few years ago, although the timo never has been in Umatilla county that the man who sought work and was not afraid to tako hold was com pelled to go without it very long at a time. Wages aro very good, especial ly during the harvesting season, when from $2 to $1 a day Is paid, and many seasons It is difficult to get men to handle the crops. Other times of year wages aro not so good but gen erally there is work for all, at fair wages tho year round, Last Week's Weather Report.
